Review of Eye of the Tiger (1986) by Private U — 15 Dec 2007
Gary Busey stars in this film. That's pretty much all I should need to say. Busey plays a Vietnam vet who just got out of jail after being framed by the sheriff. Think you know what's coming? Yep, revenge film.
Oh, but early in the film Busey stops a bike gang that rides dirtbikes and runs drugs from raping a girl. Then the sheriff tries to get him in trouble for acting outside the law. Yep, this is a vigilante justice film now and Charles Bronson would be proud.
At one point, Busey sets up piano wire or something across the street and the bikers ride into it and it slices one biker's head off. The blood in this film is also bright red and looks like paint.
Did I mention Busey drives a Dodge Ram Charger? And it's jet black with steel plated windows, mortars that shoot out of the bed, and 4 assault rifles mounted on the bed that he shoots from the cab? Yaphet Kotto is also in this movie and he flies a crop duster and drops grenades on a desert compound the bikers have while listening to James Brown.
Yeah, this movie is pretty much awesome.
